Randy Posted May 17, 2009 Report Share Posted May 17, 2009 (edited) Anyone tried the new Tourstage x-blade GR forged irons? I saw a set today and they look pretty nice. Might be looking to down size a little from the J spec Ping Raptures I am playing now. If you have tried them would appreciate any feedback on feel and forgiveness. Thanks and Aloha Randy Edited May 17, 2009 by Randy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Feel was great, softer than Mizuno, softer than Epon. Forgivness was also good. IMO it is right around ping i series like the i10 or the i5s. Heel shots are very sweet and toe shots got less of a thud than the MP57s. Distance on my misses are about avg 10 yard loss. Good overall club to look down at, but I'm really pleased w/my R7 forged irons. p.s. did you p/u that sc kombi putter I saw you sampling the other day?

Randy Posted May 17, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 17, 2009 Tim, Thanks for the response. Think I may have to give them a try. One quick question though, do you think they are a little more forgiving than the R7 forged? Thanks Randy P.S. I did not p/u the kombi. Nice looking putter though.

xchangmanx Posted May 18, 2009 Report Share Posted May 18, 2009 It is hard for me to tell, since i got the NS950s in the r7s. the TS's had DG s200s. I can tell you that I always hit DGs better, so id say the GRs were just as if not, a touch more forgiving than the R7s. But I suck w/950s I mean really suck, I cannot control the shaft so I'm left w/massive dispersion. I'm gonna say that the R7s are softer than the TS's, I just gotta get the DGs in them. Here is an example of what I mean. I hit my Epon AFtours and they have DGs in them, and to me they are two times over more forgiving than the R7s w/NS950s. Just goes to show that I can only swing one way... and the shaft really makes a difference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
